This is Radio Atlantic. I'm Hannah Rosen.
Today,
we have the third episode of our series about San Francisco and what it takes to escape homelessness and addiction.
Last week, we talked to San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie.
We as a city just got to this point where we were like,
if somebody wants to keep harming themselves and really killing themselves, that's their right.
And we followed Evan, who's trying to get off the streets through a critical 48-hour period.
I don't know where to go.
And it's raining.
And I'm cold.
And I'm hungry.
And I'm over it.
I'm so over it.
This week, Evan is missing, and he badly needs medical care.
We follow the search for Evan.
And we look at a new experiment with involuntary treatment.
Here's reporter Ethan Brooks.
Hey.
How you doing?
Doing all right, you know.
